Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Castelo de Sesimbra, Rua Nossa Senhora do Castelo, Sesimbra Portugal
The Castle of Sesimbra, also referred to as Castelo dos Mouros, is located in the village of the same name, Castelo parish, Sesimbra municipality, Setúbal district, Portugal.
The medieval castle stands in a dominant position on a cliff over a cove which is a natural harbor on the Setúbal peninsula, between the estuaries of the river Tagus and the river Sado, a few kilometers from Cape Espichel.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Parque Natural da Arrabida, Setubal 2900-324 Portugal
The Arrábida Natural Park is a biogenetic reserve located in the Setúbal peninsula, encompassing the municipalities of Palmela, Setúbal and Sesimbra, with the highest altitude in the Pico do Formosinho, with 501 meters of altitude, in the Setúbal district of Portugal. It extends for 35 kilometers, including several mountains and places of remarkable interest and natural beauty, such as the Serra do Louro, Serra do Risco, Serra de São Luís, Serra dos Gaiteiros, Serra Longa, Serra de São Francisco and Serra itself of Arrábida
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Convento da Arrabida, N379-1, Setubal 2925-000 Portugal
The Convent of Our Lady of Arrábida, which belonged to the Franciscan Province of Arrábida, is half hidden among the trees of the south slope of the Serra da Arrábida, facing the sea, in the council of Setúbal. This 16th century building was once a Franciscan convent. Today it is included in the Arrábida Natural Park. The five round towers above the cliff were probably used for solitary meditation.
The foundation of a convent in the Serra da Arrábida dates from the end of 1538-1539, when Dom João de Lencastre 1st Duke of Aveiro promised to Friar Martinho (Martín de Santa Maria Benavides), an Andalusian barefoot friar of the Order of Saint Francis, his desire to lead an eremitical life dedicated exclusively to Our Lady.
